Prozac & Wellbutrin threw me into anorexia.....lost so much weight they put me into an eating disorders treatment center. It was when I first started having depression issues back in 1994 & guess they didn't realize that prozac had those miserable side effects. My weight was low enough to start with that anything that caused me to loose weight was going to cause that problem.....but my pdoc didn't know me or know what my background was.

The issues with your husband aren't new in your life either....he has treated you that way since you were first married to him.....so that has been ongoing in your life & not just current either from what you have said.....all these things pile up & probably even from a child, you got comfort from eating.....so your neuropathways learned that is how to react when you feel the need for comfort......you have to reprogram those neuropathways......awareness of what you are doing & stopping yourself when you see you are doing it (self-control)......definitely easier said than done.

I have just the opposite problem & I know how hard it is to self-control myself into forcing myself to eat.....so I know how hard it is to force ones self to stop eating. Either end of the spectrum is difficult & takes work to change the reactions we have learned throughout our life....but it can be done.

Dealing with the cause of your depression will definitely help, but don't be surprised if the way you are being treated by your husband isn't feeding into your depression. Years later, I realize that my depression wasn't just about loosing my career, but my career was my escape from my marriage to a guy who refused to communicate & lived in his own little world & thought that all he had to offer to a marriage was his career. Think we really don't realize how negatively something like that effects us when we cloud our vision thinking that love makes it not matter. Eating/not eating are an indication that something isn't right in our life that needs to be dealt with & when there aren't many things that we have going on in our life.....it definitely ends up pointing to those issues we have & don't want to deal with.
